Not Too Shabby & Re-Find Living: christmasdecorations

Christmas Tree Details

4:33 PM

This was our woodland theme tree at Re-Find Living.

It's really only a 6 foot tree, we placed on top of a very sturdy coffee table.

Making a bigger statement.

We started with burlap pointsettia picks, and then filled in with wonderful ornaments, including one of my favorites, this jeweled glass one. I also love the accordion paper ornament shown, it's filled with glitter and weighs nothing so it can be tucked into most any space, hung from garland, or placed in a bowl.

These are great lightweight ornaments also, completely covered in glitter. I love that they're an unusual color that makes them pop on our nature tree. They'd also be wonderful on a coastal themed tree mixed with blues, greens, and silver.

These jeweled clip birds added nice bling at the ends of the branches, after the tree has been decorated.

These beautiful glass cones have some fake snow inside, complimenting the hand painted pine cones.

We also had this same design in a candy cane shape.

I know it's after Christmas, but during Christmas it's just way too crazy and finding time to blog is nearly impossible.

I hope you saw the tree in person during its prime.

Here's some of my favorite ornaments from our Gold Tree.

We got a nice selection of old fashioned style gold animals, on wheels! Here's the sheep.

I always like to have some larger pieces, either tucked in the tree or hanging on the edge. I love these plastic Merry Christmas banners. We had them in red or white. They were so pretty and reasonably priced, they sold out in the first week.

These gold wire ornaments have a lot of bling, little weight, and can be tucked into the tree for depth or hung on the tips for bling.

These gold ice skates came in 2 sizes, and look great on your tree, in the center of a wreath, added to garland, tucked onto a tablescape. They really have no weight, so they can easily be added to almost anything.

These are one of my favorite ornaments. They are glass, with lots of design, great color combination, with glitter, shine, and rich color. They are actually accented with black, not a traditional Christmas color, but with the other gold & glitter, these ornaments could fit into almost any other Christmas color scheme.

Hope to see you soon.

Christmas Trees at Not Too Shabby

8:28 AM

We set up 4 large trees at our Not Too Shabby location.

This year I decided to try putting three trees at the front of the store.

An enchanted statement at the front.

And the pink & blue tree ended up back a little, by the register.

It's a lot easier to decorate the trees now that they're all the 9 feet skinny, center-pole light style trees.

That layout lasted a couple of weeks, but I just couldn't get used to the flow of the store with the three trees up front.

So, all of them got separated into their own spots.

The blue & silver (Ocean) tree ended up in the front corner

The gold tree was moved to the other front window, where it showed off our bed display beautifully.

It's funny to look back at these pictures & see how much they have changed.

I'll post details next.

Christmas Trees at Re-Find Living

Here's more pictures of our Christmas trees, this is a skinny 12-foot.

We discovered the ceiling is 12-foot, at the back of the store,

And only 11-3/4 feet at the front.

Wasn't so funny.

But it all turned out.

It's decorated with ornaments in traditional colors.

This is a 6 foot tree, we placed on a table.

It's filled with felt and soft ornaments.

Super cute Swedish reindeer,

Soft snowmen,

And fluffy birds.

This is a nice fat 9-foot tree we placed on a very solid coffee table.

It's a lovely tree, decorated with a woodland theme.

We've filled it with jeweled owls, burlap flowers, glass pine cones, and so many other beautiful pieces.

It really turned out beautifully.

These are pictures of the trees about a week after they were first decorated.

Now, a month later they are looking pretty empty.

Better head in quickly.

Christmas Fun at Re-Find Living

8:25 AM

It's been a week & I finally have a break long enough to post pictures of our 2nd store and some of the beautiful Holiday decorations we put up.

I love these banners! They're lightweight enough to hang almost anywhere, we put them in the tree but they also look great on a tablescape, in a wreath, hanging from a porch light outside.

We used silver, gold, black, red, and green ornaments on the tree.

I also like to mix up the textures on the tree, lots of glitter, glass, paper, velvet, feathers, and just a mix of items. We tucked in some white owls along with the beautiful vintage-style glass bells.

Love these paper medallion ornaments, the black/white/silver color combo is so pretty.

Lovely glass chalkboard style ornaments

It took about 4 hours, 3 people, and 500 ornaments to decorate this tree.

Here's the tree all lit up at night. Pretty wonderful!

Hope you're inspired!

Silver & Gold - The Liberace Tree

10:37 AM

This truly luxurious tree started with beautiful gold tinsel picks.

We actually moved our Chalk Paînt® decorative paint by Annie Sloan paint cabinet so the tree could be against our painted wall, waxed, and gilded wall. I think it really shows off the beautiful silver and gold of the tree.
